Multiculturalism Under Fire in the Dis-United Kingdom

It is at long last becoming permissible to criticise the negative aspects of multiculturalism, that harbinger of pseudo-liberal loony-Left cultural correctness that presaged the nonsense of 'Political Correctness' by a decade or more.
Down on our little allotment, my best mate Nosher welcomes this new trend.
'Multiculturalism may have been an invention of the Wilson Government in the 60s, but once it took hold amongst all the political parties it has been political suicide to say anything negative about it for forty years' he said, taking another sip of his excellent parsnip wine.
'Well, at last it is possible to expose the ludicrous aspects of this policy without being called a racist by by all but the loony-Left Guardian and its readers' I observed, as a blue-tit sang its melodious song in the willows nearby.
We were sat on our deckchairs outside our little allotment sheds after a hard day's toiling, watching the late afternoon sun slowly dip towards the willows. Although it was cold, the heat of our labours was enough to enable us to relax and enjoy the winter sunshine.
And relax we did. The climate of pseudo-liberal cultural fascism is at last on the decline (or so it seems), and people as varied as Trevor Philips, our race-relations commissar, and the boffins at the Royal United Services Institute are at long last expressing doubts about a policy that has, far from inducing minorities to integrate, simply encouraged them to see themselves 'special cases' deserving of more consideration than is accorded to the rest of the population.
An example of the socially-divisive effects of this ideology of cultural exclusiveness is that recently the UK Government announced that Muslim men would henceforth be allowed to claim social security benefits for all their wives on an equal basis, although polygamy is supposed to be illegal in the Dis-United Kingdom. Non-Muslim men, of course, are not to be accorded this privilege. So much for equality under the law.
What better way is there of sending a message to the majority of the population of the Dis-United Kingdom that the values and cultural traditions of a once-great Christian country now count for nothing? And that is precisely what they count for: nothing. Zero. Zilch. We have become a nation culturally neutered by our own home-grown breed of pseudo-liberals and their fellow-travelling allies in other political parties and the media.
One example stands out of the tragic consequences of allowing minorities to think of themselves as having special privileges immune to scrutiny and regulation by the host community.
Last year (2007) the Metropolitan Police offered a substantial reward for any information leading to the arrest and conviction of people practising female circumcision, an illegal procedure carried out without anaesthetic, by forcibly holding the victim down whilst the operation is carried out with a rusty razor blade. It is barbaric but is nonetheless still popular amongst some Muslims of North African descent. Tens of thousands of very young girls are believed to be genitally mutilated every year in the Dis-United Kingdom.
It is a practice that has been carried out for decades in the Dis-United Kingdom, with barely a murmur of outrage from the loony-Left, or from any liberal social reformers, come to that. The prevailing attitude appears to be that we must not risk offending the 'cultural sensitivities' of the perpetrators - that is treated by the media, and by politicians, as being a much more important issue that the suffering inflicted on the victims. For female circumcision leaves the victims mutilated, scarred, and in pain for life, subject to recurrent infections and bearing their private deformity with them as an indelible mark of their 'caring' tribe where-ever life may subsequently take them.
And yet if only one white middle-class girl was known to have been subjected to such an horrific practice in the Dis-United Kingdom, the loony-Left Guardian and its allies would rise up in outrage and the pseudo-liberal cohorts would be out in strength mounting a crusade to stamp the practice out. But the doctrine of multiculturalism means that no such crusade has ever been mounted to save young girls from ethnic minorities suffering this dreadful fate, and so tens of thousands continue to fall victim to it every year.
When the Metropolitican Police announced their initiative to encourage people to report this crime last year the Guardian reported it as a minor news item, tucked away in the middle pages, with no editorial opinion or comment from its columnists (I still have the newspaper cutting in my files). Thus are even the mightiest campaigners for liberal reform silenced by even the remotest possibility that they might upset the most hallowed doctrine of multiculturalism - that one should not risk offending the 'cultural sensitivities' of ethnic minorities.
Now, at long last, these attitudes may be changing, and not before time. Those of us who believe that multiculturalism has in fact discouraged integration and assimilation, and has divided communities by encouraging ethnic communities to see themselves as 'special cases' who should be allowed extra privileges, can at last speak out without incurring hysterical accusations of 'racist!' from the pseudo-liberal fascists who think they can intimidate all dissenting opinions into extinction simply by reciting the imbecilic dogmas of multiculturalism and spouting that particular brand of ideological stupidity we know as 'Political Correctness'.
The wind of change is here, just a light breeze at the moment, but let us hope it grows and sweeps away the blinkered outlook of the past forty years and lets some light be shed on an issue that is long overdue for public, informed debate.
